2024 Clinical Engineering Hall of Fame Nominations Are Open

Nominations for the Clinical Engineering Hall of Fame (CEHOF) are open until February 11, 2024. If you want to nominate someone for this prestigious honor, check the eligibility and complete the online Nomination Form

The Clinical Engineering Hall of Fame was established by ACCE to help the wider healthcare profession and general public better understand the clinical engineering profession. It is an outward-facing virtual museum that tells the story of clinical engineering, from its beginnings in the late 1960s to the present day, by honoring the visionaries, leaders, and luminaries who have contributed to the creation, evolution, and advancement of the profession. Additionally, the CE-HOF allows students and others who are interested in exploring clinical engineering as a profession to understand and appreciate the challenges and rewards in pursuing this career.

The rules governing nomination to the CE-HOF are straightforward. Any person, alive or deceased can be nominated for induction into the CE-HOF, regardless of age, sex, race, nationality, residency, education level, years of experience, or membership within ACCE (i.e., non-ACCE members are eligible).

The essential requirement for induction into the CE-HOF is that the individual has contributed in a meaningful way to the initiation, evolution or advancement of the profession. Awards, honors, leadership positions, certifications, publications, presentations, etc. are not sufficient by themselves to warrant induction, although they may be cited as sup- porting evidence of the nominee’s contributions. A more complete description of the requirements is contained in the Nomination Form Instructions.

In addition to the completed Nominations Form, at least three letters of support from well-known clinical engineering professionals are required; extensive evidence to support the nomination is expected. Self-nomination is not acceptable.

All nominations will be reviewed by the CE-HOF Nominations Review Committee for completeness and adherence with the essential requirements and qualifications for nomination. Up to three nominees, selected by the CE-HOF Nominations Review Committee, will be submitted for an affirmation vote by the individual, fellow, and emeritus members of ACCE. Those receiving at least 75% of the votes cast will be submitted to the ACCE Board for ratification.

The 2024 Class of Inductees will be announced at the ACCE annual assembly/awards ceremony and via official ACCE publications and website. A summary of the Inductees’ contributions along with a biography, pictures, etc. will be posted on the ACCE website so that the general public, clinical engineering professionals, and aspiring students can learn about the extraordinary contributions made by these pioneers.
